Americans of TFF

[Flash]

An American club.......finally. I was wondering when we were going to get one of these.

Well I am from Southern Illinois just about thirty minutes away from the Indiana border. A town called Vincennes, that's in Indiana, has quite a few historic stuff there. There is the Harrison House where President Harrison lived. I'm not sure of all the stuff there but there is a lot of famous people from there. They are all from around the Revolution and the Civil War so they are pretty old. And there is a monument, I forgot the name of it but its there.

Hey Flash, you are in!

You, and Dimarik, should reveal your real names. Americans don't use no formalities (or usernames)!

Oh and I forgot to add that we have a lot of Mexicans over here? Some illegal. Some legal. You know the whole immigrant thing? Some of them opened up some awesome Mexican food restaurants. And I don't mean Taco Bell or Del Taco food. I'm talking some REAL Mexican food. And it's good!!!

I get you guys having Mexicans, but we have a huge Mexican community south of my town. How did they get all the way to Central Florida? Stereotypically, they all pick oranges.

EDIT: Man, I cannot keep up. Sinister is in too, of course. Welcome, fellow genius!

We ain't got no use for no proper grammar neither.

At least, not in the South. Apparently.



Word up. I'm from Arlington, TX -- square in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth. The only interesting things we have here are...

• The Texas Rangers
• The Dallas Cowboys (starting in 2009)
• The original Six Flags theme park
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor (which was also the first SFHH), home of the largest water slide in the world, the Black Hole
• The third-largest mall in the state
• The biggest tourist trap in the Southwest

It's a pretty neat place to live with over 370,000 people now. It's something like the 49th or 48th largest city in the country (it was 49th in the 2006 census, but we're kind of between census years right now). Fancy. It's kind of dull to those of us who've been here most of our lives, but that's just because you can only do the same things over and over again for so long before you get tired of them.

There ain't no proper grammar in Dubya's America. Also, my lack of American geography means I have no idea what part of Texas that is, and knowing its between Dallas and Fort Worth doesn't help either. I have actually been to Dallas, and since we flew in there to go to New Mexico, I imagine its to the west.

Anyway, welcome Ann, Cesar, and Brad!

Another topic: What is there to do in your town other than the usual suspects: movies, bowling, underage drinking, etc? I live closer to the beach, so there is always that. I go there maybe four times a week. I cannot fathom how some of you landlocked people manage. Disney and Universal are played out to us, but a lot of us go to Downtown Disney and Universal CityWalk. I don't know if everyone knows what those are, but those are huge plazas inside the theme parks. They also have House of Blues and Hard Rock Live, respectively. It is such a pain to get there though. You would think Orlandians would be at those places all the time, but real Orlando is so far away from the parks that it takes forever.

If you really must know my real name it's Caleb.

Is there anything interesting going on in the U.S. right now? I don't have a TV, so news has been out of my life for a while now.

Yes there has been an election going on since like the beginning of the year. Also March Madness just finsihed up and now baseball is starting back up. CUBS FTW!!!!

CUBS FTW!!!!

Yeah. Good luck with that. If the Brewers keep playing the way they do, the NL Central won't even be a competition.

From what I heard today, if Hillary doesn't win Pennsylvania BIG (as in 250,000) votes, she may drop out of the race by mid-May. Eh, it seems like Obama is going to win the Democratic nomination anyway. America loves a darkhorse (James K. Polk anybody?)
